How to Make Curtains Out of Pennants

A pennant curtain strings triangular pieces of fabric across a curtain rod. This creates an angular and striking valence for the top of a bare window, and it adds shape and texture to the window. Use a pennant curtain to add visual variety to a room, and select fabrics in colors that match the room's existing decor.

Instructions

- 1
  Draw an isosceles triangle on a piece of paper using a pencil. The triangle should be 10 inches high, and 4 inches wide at the base.
- 2
  Cut out the triangle using a pair of scissors. This is your paper template.
- 3
  Cut out a polar fleece triangle by laying the paper template on the fabric and cutting around it. Using polar fleece enables you to avoid hemming or finishing your pennant curtain.
- 4
  Turn the 4-inch edge down by 1 inch toward the wrong side of the fabric and sew it flat. This gives you a triangle with a tube across the shortest edge.
- 5
  Trim the sides of the triangle with a pair of scissors so that it is a perfect isosceles triangle again.
- 6
  Thread the triangle onto the curtain rod.
- 7
  Repeat Steps 3 through 6 until there are enough pennants to cover the curtain rod. At this point you are ready to reattach the curtain rod to the window.
